My invention relates to new and useful improvements 1n money handling machines of Vthattype inwhich a coi-n tray or magazine is providedfor supporting a plurality of stacks p l of coins adaptedto be ejected-or discharged bythe operation of la key or keys and delivered to suitable position to bereceivedby the operator of the machine or a customer or purchaser or the like, andthe principal object .10 of the present invention resides in the provision of a novel form-of spoutor chute which receives the eyected or discharged coins and nove-l means whereby the spout orchute is` detachably connected to the machine and adjustable into various positions or angles relative to the machine.

A further object of theinventionconsists in the provision of the novelorm of spout or chute andr cooperating bracket, the bracket being adapted to be connected to the machine, adjacent 'an opening formed therein, and through `which the ejected coins are discharged, and the spout er chute being adapted for connection to or. disconnection `from the bracket by a vertical movement relative thereto and while in any of its ang'ularly usted positions relative tothe machine. v Another object'of the invention'resides in the provision of means wherebythe spout or -chute may be swungrelative tothe bracket into various positions relative to the machine and the provision of means whereby the spout or chute may beloc'ked or 4held in itsl various positions of'adjustment.

With the above 1 and otherxobjects in view, which VwillY appear yas the description proceeds, my invention consists in the novel de' F ig. 3 is a fragmentalhorizontal sec'tion'on the line `3-3 of Figrl.

In the drawings 1 indicates an outline of one face of the coin holding machine, preferably one end thereof, having an yopening 2 therein through which theA coins are delivered or discharged into thel spout .or chute to be later described. A153 I have illustrated my improved form of bracket or housing adapted to be connected to the end 1 of the machine by means of the screws 4f or other suitablefas-r tenings and this bracket or housing is pro.-v

videdinits rear wall or face with the opening 5 aligning withfthe opening 2. The top of the bracketorhousing is preferably open,

as shown more particularly in Figs. 2 and 5 ofthe drawings, and the bottom end thereof is recessed as shown at 6 to receive the upper l end of the chute orspout to be later described.

Oner side wall of thebracket or housing is provided withan'ty elongated openingf7 which a latch 8 is pivotally connected at Q9, 1

one end of the latch, as show-n at 10, 'projectortingbracket orhousing on the line 1L-4 of Fig. 3, looking in the direction of the ar,-

rows, with a portion of theV chute or spout.

ing outwardly upon the surface of the bracket or housing, as v`shown more particularly in Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawings toprovide a finger engaging portion for manipulatienor` the latch ina manner' to be' later described.

The opposite or inner end of the latchdesignated llhas its inner edge 12 formed on the arc of a circle, rfor a purpose which will.` later be readily apparent, and is inwardly beveled as shown at 13 more particularly inV v Fig,6 of the drawings. This beveled edge 13 facilitates the insertion of the end of 'thev icc CIO

Cfr

spout or chute in a manner to be later described. An opening 14 is also formed in the wall of the bracket or houisng, adjacent the elongated opening 7, and is inwardly threaded to receive the screw plug 15 which forms a bearing for one end of the coiled spring 1G, the opposite end of the spring engaging the latch 8, adjacent the inner end thereof, and normally holding the inner end of the latch inwardly as shown more particularly in Fig. 3 of the drawings.

Formed in the opposite wall of the bracket or housing, to that having the velongated opening 7, is a recess 17 in which is positioned the friction looking shoe indicated generally at 18. This locking shoe is provided, at opposite ends, with the curved engaging portions 19 and 2O and intermediate these engaging portions 19 and 2O is of angular formation to provide the arms 21 and 22, the arm -21 having the threaded opening 23 in which the inner end of a screw 24 engages. A threaded opening 25 leads from the outer surface of the bracket or housing and commu-V nicates with the recess A screw 26 is received in this threaded opening 25 and is provided with longitudinally extending opening to receive the screw 24. The opening in the screw 26 will be of such a diameter as to allow sliding movement of the screw 24 therein. The outer end of the screw 26 is formed with the head 27 recessed as shown at 28 to receive' the head 29 of the screw 24e. As shown more particularly in Fig. 3 of the drawings, when the shoe 18 is in its innermost or locking position the head 29, of the screw 24, will be slightly spaced from the bottom surface of the recess 28 in the head 27 of the screw 26. This allows an initial movement of the screw 23 relative to the screw 24- when releasing the shoe 13 and when the bottom surface of the recess 28 engages the head 29, of the screw 211, the screw 24 will be operated with the screw 26 and drawn outwardly to draw the shoe 18 rearwardly into the recess 17. When the screw 26 is operated in the opposite direction the inner end thereof will engage the angular arm 21 of the shoe and force the shoe in a directioninwarr ly of the bracket or outwardly from the recess to engage the chute or spout to be later described and lock the saine in its adjusted positions.

At 30-I have illustrated an open top spout or chute formed, at its upper end, with. the ringlike'portion 31 adapted to be received withinthe recess 6 formed in the bottom of the bracket or housing 3. The ring-like portion vr31 is provided with the circumferentially extending groove 32 to receive the inner end 11 of the latch member 8, as shown more particularly in Fig. 3 of the drawings', and when the upper end of the chute or spout with the ring-like portion 31, is moved in a face-wise direction relative to the bottom of the bracket or housing 3 the ring-like portion will be received within the recess 3 and the upper end of the ring-like portion will engage the beveled surface 13 of the inner end of the latch 8 and ride over the same to cause the inner end of the latch 'to be pressed inwardly against the action of the coiled spring 16. When the ring-like portion is fully inserted into the recessed porstood that when initially connecting the spou or chute to the bracket that the screw `26 will have been adjusted to draw the shoe 18 in- 4w'ardly of the recess 17 so that it will not engage with the ring-like portion 31. After the spout or chute has been adjusted to the desired position the screw 26 will be adjusted to force the shoe 18 outwardly so that the engaging portions 19 and 2O thereof will engage the outer surface of the ring-like por-- tion 31 and thereby lock the spout or chute against swinging movement or rotation of the ring-like portion 31 within the recess 6. The ring-like portion is held by the frictional engagement of the shoe therewith. I wish to lay particular stress on the fact that the spout or chute may be connected to the bracket while in any position of adjustment and is merely connected by a facewise movement of the end thereof relative to the bracket. When the spout or chute is to be detached the shoe will be released and then by engaging the linger portion 10, of the latch member 8, the inner end of in position by means of the screws 34 orA other suitable fastenings.

A receiving cup 35 is pivotally connected to the lower end of the spout or chute 30, by means of the bracket 36, detachably connected by means of the screws 3'? or other suit able fastenings to the depending lug 38 formed on the spout or chute. The cup is provided, on its bottom surface with a projection 39 which extends through the bot,-

Vtom surface of the bracket 36, as shown more particularly in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The

the latch member v will be withdrawn from the groove 32 and l be disengaged fromsii cupy may bey swungy int'ovarieus adjusted po-y sitions by loosening'the screw" 40 carried by the bracket 36k and when adjustedft'o' the de# :sired position-the screw` Will'be aga1ntight- "enedt' i Fromthe above it is thought that the con struction and operationfvviill be clearlyrv under-v stood and it Will' be seen. that'l haveprovided' ta simple construction Whereby-a` spout or chute may be readily connected t'o or disconnected from the machine While iiiV any adj usted position andv it is not necessary to secure any particular position ofthe spout or j chute, relative to the machine or 'the bracket secured thereto before connecting vor disconnecting. At the same time thespout or chute may be locked and held in any of its adjusted positions. Y j f j f I Will not claim herein that branch of my invention relating to the adjustability of the cup and 'spout' whereby the same may' be swung to various positionsin as much as'this constitutes subject matter disclosed and j claimed in my co-pending application Serial :I No. 715,661, iiled May 24, 1924.'
